Catapult Missouri: Who We Are & What We Do

Catapult Missouri, a division of Catapult Learning, Inc., is dedicated to improving academic performance for all students, especially those struggling learners. The company’s team of educators works to achieve sustained academic gains through research-based programs that include intervention, assessment, and professional development solutions.

Our Summer Journey program was developed for Missouri students and has been used by Missouri school districts since 2000. In 2018, over 26,000 students from more than 40 school districts participated in the program.

Program Flexibility & Turnkey Implementation for Districts

State-funded and free for students, Summer Journey can be customized to fit the needs of a district’s summer school program. The turnkey program provides:

Up to 168 hours of summer programming

More than 120 course options

Lessons that engage students in hands-on cooperative activities

Transportation that is provided to and from summer school program

With its scripted courses and most materials provided for each course, Summer Journey eases the stress and anxiety of planning and implementing a summer school program. Teachers receive a teacher kit containing basic classroom supplies, and each course kit includes most of the materials necessary to implement the lessons plus a teacher manual that gives specific, scripted instructions on how to conduct each lesson. At the end of the summer program, teachers keep their course supplies to use during the regular school year.

Peace of Mind & Satisfaction for Parents

With a full-day curriculum, student transportation provided to and from school, and no cost, Summer Journey eases parents’ financial and scheduling concerns and provides reassurance that their children are participating in a safe, academically enriching and engaging summer program. In 2018, 97% of Missouri parents surveyed indicated they were satisfied with Summer Journey.
